22. Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?” They all said, “Crucify him!”
23. He asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
24. When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!”
25. In reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”
26. Then he released Barabbas for them. But after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.
27. Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort around him.
28. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe around him,
29. and after braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand, and kneeling down before him, they mocked him: “Hail, king of the Jews!”
30. They spat on him and took the staff and struck him repeatedly on the head.
31. When they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
32. As they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry his cross.
33. They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”)
34. and offered Jesus wine mixed with gall to drink. But after tasting it, he would not drink it.
35. When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
36. Then they sat down and kept guard over him there.
37. Above his head they put the charge against him, which read: “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
38. Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
